# PhishDestroy threat dossier — 23.rewardinglocker.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-08 00:51:37 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/23.rewardinglocker.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 71/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 15/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, OpenPhish, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: gemma.ns.cloudflare.com, kyrie.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-07-25 Expires: 2027-07-25 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-14 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 1579c6a64aa2758478d1e4adaf65a38c732b197ac0d451878fea3ad3da9ef98d Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - rewardinglocker.com ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-07-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-07 21:39:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-08 00:30:04 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-08 00:01:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f3e16-640e-738d-8605-1804e8359fdd/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/23.rewardinglocker.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.23.rewardinglocker.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=23.rewardinglocker.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/23.rewardinglocker.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/23.rewardinglocker.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 21:45:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain operates as a fraudulent rewards portal designed to harvest user credentials, payment details, and personally identifiable information (PII). Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate loyalty programs or promotional offers, using social engineering tactics to prompt victims into entering sensitive data. The infrastructure employs dynamic content delivery via PHP and frontend frameworks like Bootstrap and jQuery, which are commonly abused to create convincing fake interfaces. The domain’s recent creation and use of a valid SSL certificate further enhance its deceptive appearance, increasing the likelihood of successful compromise. Evidence confirms the domain’s malicious intent through multiple technical indicators. The domain 23.rewardinglocker.com was registered on July 25, 2025, through Cloudflare, Inc., and currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. Security vendors have flagged the domain in 15 out of 95 VirusTotal scans, with detections including phishing, credential theft, and fraudulent activity. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, provides HTTPS encryption, which is frequently exploited to lend credibility to malicious sites. Additional infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Google Analytics and Cloudflare Browser Insights, tools often leveraged to track victim interactions and optimize phishing campaigns. Users who have visited 23.rewardinglocker.com or entered credentials on the site should take immediate action to mitigate risk. First, revoke any submitted credentials, particularly for financial or email accounts, and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions or suspicious activity, and report any anomalies to the respective service providers. Clear browser caches and stored credentials to remove residual traces of the phishing attempt. If payment details were entered, contact financial institutions to block transactions and request fraud alerts. Security teams should block the domain and its resolving IP (188.114.97.3) at the network level to prevent further exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 1579c6a64aa2758478d1e4adaf65a38c732b197ac0d451878fea3ad3da9ef98d ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (operator takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/23.rewardinglocker.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=23.rewardinglocker.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
